How cute are these cookies! I wish I could take credit for them but once again, these were from a Christmas party at my children’s school. The lady who made them is a gorgeous stand-up comic named Rachel Bradley whose boyfriend is the incredibly talented comedian Christopher Titus. When I saw these Melting Snowman Christmas cookies appear on [...]

4th of July Celebrations Star Cookie Pops for Kids

Thumbnail image for 4th of July Celebrations Star Cookie Pops for Kids

These sugar cookies bake up like shortbread because of the powdered sugar in the recipe. They are also sturdier than the average sugar cookie, which makes them ideal as a cookie pop! Kids love these cookies with their red and blue fondant stars. I made a batch for a TV show party on a beach [...]

Irish Whiskey Balls (no-bake cookies)

Thumbnail image for Irish Whiskey Balls (no-bake cookies)

These deliciously soused no-bake cookies are my St. Patrick’s Day version of bourbon balls, both of which I did on the TODAY Show. Here’s the St. Pat’s video clip with guest co-host Olivia Munn sitting in for Kathie Lee Gifford. Munn was hilarious and a tad tipsy from too many balls and brew. 1 cup [...]

My holiday hostess gift is always boozey cookies. Some times I make them into a Christmas tree (think croquembouche shape using a Stytofoam cone, toothpicks, and the ball cookies) and sometimes I packed them into a sweet little bag with a label urging, “Don’t eat and drive.” Seriously, they pack quite a punch, but they [...]

This is the gingerbread house recipe I’ve be using for years! You may have a treasured family gingerbread recipe that you wish to use and that’s great — as long as the dough isn’t too moist or your house could collapse! (This is the reason I suggest using a cardboard structure underneath the gingerbread house [...]

Butterscotch Bars

These moist bars with a chewy center are a butterscotch nut’s dream dessert.  In fact, if you cut a bar square from the baking pan right out of the oven, they may appear to be undone.  The 30-minute baking time allows the bars to form an outer crust to hold together all the syrupy ingredients.  [...]
